Not just the head, the tail set, body frame I have taken apart and rebuild again.

As many of them indicated, Align's pre-assembled kit usually only do half of the job, it is safer if we make sure everything is working good. I read that some of them they found the thrust bearing was not grease, the screw to lock the main blade grip also not loctite. If that's the case it might be flying out during a flight with high spinning speed.

So I advise you to take care of that a little bit lah Otherwise a crash because of that you will still need to go through this step again. Hehehehe, don't worry too much about assembly ... there are many peoples here can help.

Wow, building a heli from scratch and for the first time really time consuming. Just finished centering the cyclic servo arm, ESC soldering and setup only.

Qiw, did you glue your pinion on the motor shaft?

The motor shaft has no flat spot for the pinion's set screw to lock, did you file/grind a flat spot?

I am in a dilemma now. Read a lot in heli-freak that the heat of the shaft will weaken the threadlock on the grub screw and some time later the pinion come loose and fly off.

So want to see see how you did that last time. Hmmm, maybe I should consider the R48 green glue with the pinion and shaft, and then threadlock the grub screw.

aiseh ... hobby king so slow recently ... payment made last friday and today still in processing ..... EMS also useless to use .....

Calvin, your battery in its way already ar?

You took registered airmail or EMS?

Damn it, if you said like that I can't wait to maiden my trex as well ..... your trex stability is comparing with which heli? Walkera's 450?

Aiyo, why the complements sound like a rock solid bird for trex 450?

Hehehehehe, nvm I like to hear wahahahhahahah and let me prove it later on .....

I don't think that's the only lipo inventory you have
Where is those 1S lipo for your 4G6S?

Spending the whole day and just finished the head setup, servo & motor installation.
Found two issues,
First, the washer for the screw to mount the motor is missing. Cant find the plastic bag contains this washer. So just screw on the mount plate directly.
Second, the elevator servo hole not fit and not align to the main shaft block and body frame hole. So have to cut bigger hole on the servo to mount.
But my opinion is this heli is quite easy to install and setup. Without working too hard i can get everything center and level at mid stick, zero pitch.

No wonder, my work around to the misalign hole is sacrifying my servo tab. Cut off the edge of the hole so that the screw can go through. Never try to fit the servo using force, cos if the servo casing is warp, then very likely that the servo will overload and burn. Hehehe, bob from heli freak says.

Since my walkera rx cant mount in the frame, i think part of the wire will be exposed loh... Hmmm, i think my pro can start testing and maiden next week loh.

And then is that normal if the main gear wobbles? I can see that clearly from the side when the main is rotating.

Hey Calvin, how long it took to reach for the battery you have ordered from hobby king? Let's say start from the day they shipped things out.

Mine was shipped last friday but now I still cant trace from sg speedpost. I have a tracking number ends with SG.

Hehehehhe, cant wait already loh. I mean HK delayed my shipment for at least 5 days already.

Other than battery I also have some other things together because I want to best utilize the shipping charge. One of the thing is the CA glue and I am in need of it to glue the torque tube bearing .....

Battery still OK since I have the old 2250 25C to test .... Also cant wait to see my TIG CF tail blade for my Pro .....

Wow, 2 weeks from the day they shipped then only the parcel reach you? Quite long
Errr, I have to order online so shipping already more than RM6

Added on April 18, 2011, 3:11 pmDo you mean "super glue"? Elephant brand super glue?

Hehehe, first time to get this kind of glue so blur blur loh .... don't know super glue from local hardware shop can use or not ... need to glue the flybar paddle as well and it is made of plastic.
The super glue I got from local hardware shop eats plastic one woh

This post has been edited by daddoo: Apr 18 2011, 03:11 PM

Errrr, lock tight/loctite/locktite/threadlock also eat plastic woh ...... maybe it is lock glue ......

Aiya, like that I think you missed one step to assemble your torque tube.

There is a bearing holding your TT in the tail boom and the bearing needs to fix on certain place. Else if the bearing is moving freely inside tail boom then if it is at the center it may create resonance and introduce more vibrations.

Hope to receive my parcel soon because I am impatient now loh ... kekkekekek
Can't wait to maiden my pro already

Anyway, thanks for your information ah

Hehehe, because you said you never used ca on heli mah
I think i dun care about the tt bearing, just use those super glue since the bearing and tt not a plastic. Kekekeke.


Maiden in kjrc very hard lah i am from penang....

Ohhhh, you went there RC before?
Hehehe, pity me for not been there before Skill too poor so dun want to embarrass people, better maiden silently. A crash maiden is bad .. kekkekeke

Hoho, I don't really worry about my hovering skill. All I am worrying is my setup skill to build a heli from scratch, yet to justify

Something like that. But I also worry about the tail drift issue which is commonly found with GP780.

Not much time that I have a good tail holding (rock solid lock!!!) with my current heli. But sometime I do have that kind of holding and really enjoy the flight. Just pray that it does not happen on my 450 Pro ..... hehhehehhe else will definitely get one Align's PU gel adhesive already .......

yoooohhhooo, finally the courier company called me to deliver the battery. But surprise that EMS is not going through PosLaju .....




This post has been edited by daddoo: Apr 20 2011, 01:35 PM

Aikkkssssss, I thought you said your 450 Pro has a very very small drift?

Usually my area is under PosLaju coverage and I have done through a few times before from LHS. Just that don't know why this round not via PosLaju. Nvm lah, as long as I got the things then dun care

Added on April 20, 2011, 2:42 pmSensitive to vibration and yours also drift, the tail?
